That is the Core 2 Quadro Extreme (notice the Q in the product number).
Core 2 Duo Extreme has 2 cores. You put Duo in the original post. Not
a big deal (I realize I'm splitting hairs), but I thought it might
confuse someone who didn't know that there were 2 different processors
called "Core 2 Extreme", one a Duo and one a Quadro. "Extreme" just
means above a certain clock speed.

Yeah, most of the Core 2 Duo boards will work with Core 2 Quadro,
extreme or otherwise.
